>McCain is far from ideal, but on the most important issue for me, National Defense, he is much ahead of the others.
To be fair, Clinton is also pretty safe on this issue. She’s more stalwart than Bill (who supported the Iraq war in the beginning but now has turned tail).
McCain won’t have much to edge Clinton on this issue. He would against Obama.

Clinton talked a good game when the Iraq invasion vote came up, but has declared she will pull out of Iraq if elected. There is also the bitter taste of her hatred for the military as she was “gaining experience” while in the White House. Perhaps she has mellowed. The big problem with Clinton, however, is her divisiveness. There are some who love her, some on the Dem who tolerate her or like that she will prolong the poisoned hatred that is killing the political discourse in this country, and many, including dems, who simply see her for what I believe she is, a lying, conniving candidate totally devoid of any real principles. Goldwater girl to feminist to purported poverty opponent to children’s rights activist to ashtray thrower and apologist for a serially adulterous husband, to most recently, a conveniently-timed crybaby.
